Merry Christmas

And suddenly it's Christmas again... what a year this has been!! A year full of cakes, cookies and brownies... And let's not forget about peanut butter ;-) All the things I'm baking - they come from the heart. And from the heart, I wish you all a merry Christmas and all the best for 2012. I'm looking forward to it.

Chai Cookies
(Source: Zimt & Sterne, 24 süsse Rezeptideen)

200g butter, soft
100g brown sugar
1 egg
6 bags of indian spice tea (I took vanilla roiboosh chai)
300g flour

Beat butter, sugar and the egg until you have a creamy batter. Cut up the tea bags and add the content to the batter. Fold in the flour and form the dough into a ball. Wrap in cling film and put in the refridgerator for at least an hour.

Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Roll out your dough on a lightly floured surface (about 0.5cm thin). Cut out cookies in the shape you like and place them on the tray. Bake for about 8-10 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.

I decorated them with store-bought chocolate glaze.
